Hello Chip,

I actually use APRX on Linux for this.  It's a background daemon that 
allows sending APRS objects into both RF and APRS-IS, digipeating, etc.  
Nice program for background stuff.

I have a Raspberry Pi (actually many) and a TNC-Pi (http://tnc-x.com/tncpi.htm). The TNC-Pi is reported compatible with Xastir, so that seems to be one possible solution. But I need something automated. Something that can either send a message upon trigger (i.e., temperature hits a certain high or low value) or on some frequency (i.e., send battery voltage every 15 minutes).
